Little Shopper's Shop

Little Shopper's Shop

We are looking for volunteers to help with our Little Shopper's Shop on December 6 and 7. LSS is an opportunity for students to shop for holiday gifts for their family members. They bring in money and choose from a variety of gifts for the people on their lists. We need people to help students pick out gifts and make sure they have enough money. We also need volunteers to help "wrap" their gifts in bags and write who they are to and from on the bags.

Parent's Night Out

Parent's Night Out

We are looking at having a "Parent's Night Out" event. It would occur on Friday December 9 from 5:30pm -8:00 pm. Volunteers would come before and stay after to help with setup and clean up. So for volunteers this would be from 5:00pm - 8:30 pm. Parents would sign up using a sign up genius form and space would be limited to ensure a safe child to adult ratio for the evening. We will provide food (most likely pizza, chips and a drink), crafts, and fun for the children while parents have a night out shopping for the holidays, or just a night to themselves. This sign up is just to see how many parents we can get to help with the evening! If you're interested in volunteering to help chaperone this event please sign up using the following link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E0B4CA8A722ABFE3-parents

All parents/guardians who complete the survey will be entered into a drawing to win some gift cards.

About Us

About Us
At QE, we challenge our students academically and behaviorally through our state-recognized Positive Behavior Support Program, P.R.I.D.E. Every QE student is taught to presevere, show respect, be in control, show dependability, and effort in all school and life endeavors.

The children are our most cherished possessions. Please know that we will do everything in our power to make sure your child feels respected, safe, happy, and successful at Quakertown Elementary School. When we are working together; parents, teachers, staff, and students, we will come together to help each child reach their fullest learning potential.
